Clearwater Fatal Truck Accident Attorney

Have you ever shared the road with a truck? You probably noticed how huge it was—trucks can weigh up to 10,000 pounds! Due to their size, a collision with a truck can have serious, often fatal consequences.

98% of accidents that involve a large truck end with at least one fatality.

In trucking accidents, the victims are usually the occupants of the smaller vehicle.

Common Causes

Debris in road

Bad weather

Poor visibility

Equipment failure

Poor road conditions

Improperly secured loads

If a driver is speeding, intoxicated, or not obeying traffic laws, a fatal accident becomes more likely. Since truck drivers often travel long distances over a short period of time, drowsy driving is a major problem.

Trucking Accident Injuries

Brain and head injuries

Neck injuries, like whiplash

Back injuries

Facial injuries from broken glass, debris, or collision with the airbags or interior of the car

Psychological injuries from the trauma of the accident, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Injuries like a TBI or spinal damage can be incredibly serious. Injuries from a truck accident may also require surgery or expensive medical treatments.
